Are there still .com domain names available for an AI startup?

Yes, once you join two words. We made 7,512 names for an AI startup from words like ai, mind, neural and logic, each joined to a plain brand word, and looked every one up at the .com registry on November 5, 2026: 72% were registered, including every name we made with ai. 2,093 were not, like freshoracle.com, cedarbrain.com, starreason.com and larkvision.com.

What makes a good domain name for an AI startup?

One that people can type after hearing it once. Two short words usually do it: one that says what you do (ai, mind or neural) and one that gives it a character of its own. Say it out loud to someone and ask them to spell it. A .com is what most people type when they only heard the name, so it is worth a second word to get one.

Should an AI startup use .com or .ai?

Two-word names are far more open as .ai: of the same 7,512 names, 79% were free at the normal .ai price on November 5, 2026, against 28% as .com. A .ai costs more ($89.98 for the first year at Namecheap that day, against about $12 for a .com), and someone who only heard the name may type .com, so if the .com of your name is free too, it is worth having both.

How the names were made and checked

We picked 35 words of the trade (ai, mind, neural, logic, think, cortex, agent, model, signal, vector, tensor, prompt, brain, smart, synapse, learn, sense, reason, insight, oracle, genius, vision, intel, infer, robot, bot, droid, auto, assist, iq, llm, compute, deep, chat and thinker) and joined each to a set of plain words that open or close brand names (bright, quiet, fox, harbor, lantern, wren), both ways round, and to the other words of the trade. Every name was looked up at the .com registry’s own nameservers, and every name without nameservers in the registry’s WHOIS, since a registered name can be on hold without DNS. A name that was registered and has since expired counts as free. We do not own or sell any of these names: registering one costs the registrar’s normal .com price.
